True or not...
I had heard that there was another gagging order in place in the UK concerning a footballer...
But is this why they played SO bad at the World Cup?
The rumours that a certain footballer had been shagging a 16 year old are wrong.
(It's allegedly his wife's sister this time around.)
Someone who had been demoted amongst the ranks then went to the 'guvnor' and asked if the same fate was going to happen again and was allegedly going to spill the beans at a press conference. It split the camp into two and players were locking themselves away from each other in their rooms.
The press know but there has been a a gagging order on the story for the past two weeks and there will be another one put on them for next two weeks while the managerial business is sorted.

Lots of tweets about this but News of the Screws editor has said there is NO gagging order in place...

Shantel & The Bucovina Club Orkestar
Shantel's rather breezy trip-hop productions suffer little considering their stated pop inclinations. Though born in Frankfurt, Stefan Hantel was introduced to clubbing and the music life while studying graphic design in Paris. Back in his hometown he opened the Lissania club, one of the few bastions of earthy grooves in a country obsessed with techno. A noted port-of-call for similar minds like Kruder & Dorfmeister and Howie B., the club's prosperity led to Shantel's first album, Club Guerilla. Released locally by Infracomm, the album was given a 1997 American reissue by Shadow Records, along with Auto-Jumps and Remixes (a collection of EPs from his own Essay label). Shantel signed to Studio !K7 for his second full LP, Higher than the Funk. It earned high praise around the world, even hitting Spin magazine's end-of-the-year charts. Great Delay was issued in spring 2001. (John Bush - AMG)
Dirty Projectors & Bjork - Mount Wittenberg Orca
In April 2009, Brandon Stosuy from Stereogum.com asked me if we wanted to play a benefit concert at a bookstore in New York. I said yes. He asked Björk the same thing, and she said yes. Then he asked us if we wanted to collaborate, and we said yes. Björk asked me what we should do, and I said, "I don't know, I guess I'd really love to write a bunch of new songs for us to sing together?" And she said Yes.
That same month, Amber from Dirty Projectors was walking along a ridge on Mount Wittenberg, north of San Francisco. She was looking out at the ocean and saw a little family of whales, as you sometimes do in April on the Northern California coast. I wrote some songs about it and sent them to Björk, who agreed to sing the part of the mom whale. The songs became Mount Wittenberg Orca. Amber and Angel and Haley sang the part of the kid whales, and I sang the part of Amber. We sang all week long and learned the music just in time to perform it at the bookstore on May 8th.
Then our album Bitte Orca came out and we went on tour forever. We finally got a chance to record Wittenberg last month, almost exactly a year after we first sang it. We went into the Rare Book Room in Brooklyn and rehearsed it for three days, then we recorded it as quickly and as live as possible. We only overdubbed lead vocals and a guitar solo.
We've decided to give away all the money that Wittenberg generates to the project of creating international marine protected areas. Only 1% of the oceans are protected in any way and this is a huge problem. We're working with the National Geographic Society to create areas of sustainability, so the oceans don't end up like a giant poisonous corpse hugging the continents. You can learn more about this project here and here and here and here.
We're so psyched about how this recording came out and hope you are too. Don't listen on those tinny computer speakers -- put in on the stereo and blast dat shiiiiiiiiii!!
Enjoy.

Tony Rebel - Live Dortmund 27.02.2010
JAH WILL NEVER LET US DOWN / FIRE / SWEET AROMA
CHANT DOWN BABYLON / TEACH THE CHILDREN / SPLASHING DASHING
Tony Rebel sings a peaceful, roots-oriented form of dancehall music designed to inspire his audience to take a more positive approach to life and social change. Born Patrick Barrett, Rebel is a Rastafarian, but rather than simply creating serious, philosophical tunes, he infuses his music with a lighthearted, liberal-leaning dose of humor. Prior to becoming a recording artist in the 1990s, he spent 14 years playing the local dancehall circuit. Examples of his uplifting approach to dancehall can be heard on his 1993 album Vibes of Time; other releases include 1998's If Jah. (Sandra Brennan - AMG)
Christopher Hitchens diagnosed with cancer
The author and polemicist Christopher Hitchens yesterday announced he was cutting short a promotional book tour in order to undergo chemotherapy treatment.
There were reports that the the British-born writer, who was a heavy smoker until giving up several years ago, had been diagnosed with cancer.
In a statement issued by his US publisher, Twelve, the 61-year-old said: "I have been advised by my physician that I must undergo a course of chemotherapy on my oesophagus. This advice seems persuasive to me. I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice."
The firm gave no further details other than asking for his privacy to be respected. Hitchens launched a high profile book tour last month to promote his memoir Hitch-22, which tackles subjects ranging from the Middle East and Zimbabwe to his friendships with prominent writers including Salman Rushdie and Martin Amis. The volume has already entered the bestseller lists.
Hitchens has in the past described himself as "an essayist and a contrarian". As a journalist, critic and war correspondent, he has carved out a reputation for barbed repartee, scathing critiques of public figures and a fierce intelligence.
In his 2008 book "God Is Not Great", Hitchens put himself on a collision course with major religions through his advocacy of atheism.
He lives in Washington DC and became an American citizen in 2007, although also retains British citizenship. Hitchens appeared at the Guardian Hay Festival this summer.

Warpaint: artists and camouflage
Another jewel from the archive. Patrick Wright, author of many articles and six books (one of which, Tank: The Progress of a Monstrous War Machine
, is a favourite of mine) made this documentary about the uncomfortable collision of art and war in the early twentieth century. In particular, it's about a British society portrait painter called Solomon J Solomon and his innovations in camouflage. It was produced in August 2002 by John Goudie, who now, among other things, produces Radio 4's Front Row.
Wright has a brilliant web site with enough clever words on it to keep you going for weeks - including these about our hero Solomon.
The picture shows HMS Furious in about 1918, painted in what is still called 'dazzle camouflage,' another innovation of the period. It's from the Wikimedia Commons (MP3).

Reports from Nigeria claim the offices of the FA have been sealed by the police. Looks like a corruption investigation is underway.

The Nigerian govt has suspended the national team for 2 yrs. Not quite sure where they got the power to do this. Fifa won't like this.

Vuvuzelas for BP
"BP is not feeling the pain they are causing in the Gulf. BP is spending millions on PR. In order to put a bit of public pressure on them, we plan to buy 100 vuvuzelas and hire 100 vuvuzela players off Craigslist to play in front of BP's International Headquarters in London for an entire work day. Ideally, the players will keep coming back every day until they fix the gusher.
1 St James's Square
London, SW1Y 4PD
UK
Budget: $2,000 = $1,000 for the vuvuzela protest ; $1,000 for the Gulf Disaster Fund
Budget is set at $2000 for now, which will be enough to buy 100 vuvuzelas at $6.50 a pop (plus shipping), and leave some left for hiring some people to manage the crowds. Hopefully (and likely) we can find people to play for free (plus they get a free vuvuzela). In which case, we'll use the remaining funds to buy more vuvuzelas and find even more players.
I'm a video producer by trade, so I will definitely be making a video of this event as well."

Israel's 1.5 Million Starving Prisoners
This "adjustment", as the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu termed it, is aimed solely at damage limitation. With Israel responsible for killing nine civilians aboard a Gaza-bound aid flotilla three weeks ago, the world has finally begun to wonder what purpose the siege serves. Did those nine really need to die to stop coriander, chocolate and children's toys from reaching Gaza? And, as Israel awaits other flotillas, will more need to be executed to enforce the policy?

Other articles by Jonathon Cook
The World remains increasingly silent over living conditions in Palestine, as Human Rights violations continue to oppress the daily lives of all Palestinians. What a hue and outcry would these conditions raise if the people oppressed were Israelis, reports of a return to the Days Of Auschwitz and the "Nutritional Experiments" of the Nazis would be in every turn of phrase, instead we hear nothing of the cruel and inhumane tragedy that is the daily lives of the Palestinians, instead we are constantly reminded of the suffering that occurred in World War 2, and yet in this "modern" age, we cannot see the flagrant torture of the Palestinian people by the government of Israel. As human beings they should know better, as a people who have experienced "Nutritional Experiments" in the past they should not want to wish or be part of such gross inhumanity again. The pernicious destruction of the Palestinian economy only serves to further the daily injustices of life in Palestine, the inaction of global leaders in the face of continuing Israeli intransigence to provide humane living conditions for Palestine must be addressed. As has been done in the past with South Africa's apartheid regime so should be done internationally in regard to Israel's religiously based apartheid regime, a full and total Boycott of Israel. Boycott Israel Now.....beeden
